Required Safety Equipment
The Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971 (FBSA/71)
established minimum safety standards for boats
and associated equipment, specified by the USCG.
In addition, the ABYC and the NMMA work with
boat builders to develop voluntary standards that
exceed base requirements.
The included safety equipment on your Cobalt boat
meets or exceeds the standards of the USCG,
ABYC and the NMMA. Some required safety
equipment such as personal flotation devices are
not included with your Cobalt boat. Your authorized
Cobalt dealer can help you choose the appropriate
equipment.
Navigation Lights
All power boats underway between sunset and
sunrise must display proper navigation lights. All
boats at anchor must display a proper anchor light.
Anchor light must be visible 360 degrees. Your
Cobalt boat is equipped with navigation lights to
meet Inland Rules and may meet International
Rules.
Horn or Whistle
All boats over 16 ft (4.8 m) in length must be
equipped with an operable horn or whistle, audible
from one mile. Your Cobalt boat is equipped with a
USCG approved horn.
Compass
To aid in navigation, your Cobalt boat may have a
compass mounted at the helm. Refer to the
compass user’s manual in your owner’s packet for
operating information. The compass may require
calibration. Contact your authorized Cobalt dealer
for more information.
Other Navigation Equipment
Other navigation equipment, such as depth
sounder, radar, LORAN system or global
positioning system, can be installed by your
authorized Cobalt dealer. Operation and
maintenance of that equipment is provided by the
manufacturer.
Fire Extinguisher
All inboard/outboard boats must carry an
appropriate portable marine type fire extinguisher
in operable condition and accessible location. Your
Cobalt boat is equipped with a portable fire
extinguisher and may have a fixed system fire
extinguisher.
Lifesaving Devices
All boats must carry one USCG approved Type I, II
or III, wearable, personal flotation device, of the
proper size, for each person onboard. All boats
over 16 ft (4.8 m) in length must carry one USCG
approved Type IV throwable lifesaving device, such
as a ring buoy or buoyant cushion. To meet
requirements, each lifesaving device must have a
currently legible USCG approval stamp
permanently affixed. Your authorized Cobalt dealer
can help you select appropriate PFDs and
throwable lifesaving devices for your area.
Visual Distress Signals
All boats over 16 ft (4.8 m) must have onboard day
and night visual distress signals. Your authorized
Cobalt dealer can help you select appropriate
visual distress signals for your area.
Recommended Safety Equipment
In spite of all efforts to the contrary, problems or
mishaps sometimes occur while boating. Stock
these items listed below on your boat to help make
unexpected events more manageable.
• Anchor and anchor line
• Compass
• First aid kit
• Distress signals (flag for daytime, flares for
darkness)
• Flashlight and spare batteries

NOTICE: Many states’ equipment
requirements go beyond USCG
requirements. Contact your state
boating office for further
information. Equipment
requirements for coastal and
inland waters differ. Check with
local authorities or the USCG for
further information about coastal
water requirements.
